Description

[0001] Apparatus for monitoring location and behavior of cattle [0002]

The present invention relates to livestock monitoring techniques and, more particularly, to an apparatus and method for managing livestock health, housing environment and pedigree by monitoring feed behavior based on livestock behavior and location in the livestock.

In a conventional livestock management system based on a sensing network infrastructure, a sensor senses livestock data, a collection device collects sensing data, and an analysis device analyzes the health and disease state of the livestock based on the collected sensing data.

Conventional livestock management systems have limitations in analyzing health and disease by sensing the living state of a livestock. For example, they have not been able to further improve their health status and provide an analysis of the breeding environment that overcame the disease or improved livestock lineage.

Livestock farms are affected by the farming environment and feed. The breeding environment includes location information that the livestock is driven to a specific position or avoids the patent position depending on temperature, humidity, and the like. It is necessary to actively protect the information gathered to a specific location as a preferred breeding environment for livestock. Information that avoids a particular location needs to identify the problem and improve the housing environment. It is necessary that the animal feedstuff should be monitored to ensure that the animal is properly ingested with water. In addition, it is necessary to determine whether the animal is properly resting in response to the ingestion of the feed.

Here, according to the above-mentioned necessity, the information of the position of the breeding environment and the related information of the feeding / resting behavior are analyzed, and the immediate response which changes the breeding environment and behavior according to the analyzed information improves the livestock health and disease management. For example, cattle that exhibit active behavior of feeding / resting at a good location in the breeding environment are healthy and have no disease. Conversely, cattle exhibiting poor feeding / resting behavior in poorly fed settings are exposed to disease risk. In other words, it is required to keep good examples of the former, and to substitute the latter ones for bad examples.

Therefore, the embodiments described in the present specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are only the most preferred first embodiment of the present invention, and not all of the technical ideas of the present invention are described. Therefore, It should be understood that various equivalents and modifications may be present.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a system 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

The system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a monitoring server 110, a transceiver 130, and a sensor device 150 that communicate through a wireless network.

The monitoring server 110 receives the neck motion data and the position data sensed by the sensor device 150 of each housing of the housing through the transceiver 130. The monitoring server 110 analyzes the livestock data received and analyzes the behavior of feeding and resting livestock, and judges feeding and negative feeding and resting activities of the livestock according to the analyzed behavior. The monitoring server 110 generates a certain pattern from the sensing data, behavior information, and activity information of each livestock, and determines the health abnormality and disease occurrence of the livestock when the generated pattern information is out of the range. The monitoring server 110 monitors livestock data and health / disease data by livestock, pedigree, and housing using various types of big data determined for livestock, and provides monitored results.

The transceiver 130 is a wireless communication-based data intermediary device installed in at least one housing. The transceiver 130 uploads the sensing data received from the plurality of sensor devices 150 to the monitoring server 110.

The sensor device 150 is a wireless communication-based wearable device that includes at least one sensor and is worn as a belt-type, a necklace-type, or the like on the neck of a livestock. The sensor device 150 senses animal data such as a tilt (angle), an impact, an acceleration, and a temperature sensed from the neck of a livestock. The sensor device 150 measures wireless signal-based position data or GPS-based position data. The sensor device 150 transmits the radio signals of the sensed livestock data and the measured position data to the transceiver 130 every set period.

For reference, assuming that the position data is based on a radio signal, the sensor device 150 transmits the intensity of the radio signal received from the plurality of transceivers 130 as position data. Then, the monitoring server 110 calculates the distance between the transceiver 130 and the sensor device 150 using the position data based on the strength of the radio signal, and calculates the position of the livestock according to the triangulation method using the calculated distance .

FIG. 2 is an exemplary view of a housing 210 in which the transceiver 130 and the sensor device 150 of FIG. 1 are located.

The transceiver 130 is installed so that the respective communication areas overlap without a communication shadow area within the area of the housing 210. [ The sensor device 150 is mounted on the neck for each individual livestock being raised in the barn 210. The sensor device 150 wirelessly transmits cattle data containing the sensed movement of the livestock to the transceiver 130 and the transceiver 130 wirelessly uploads the collected livestock data to the monitoring server 110.

Here, in-house location information including the feed zone 211 and the negative zone 213 is defined to determine the activity of feed and feed water of livestock. Then, when the neck movement of the livestock is sensed from the sensor device 150 in the feed zone 211, the monitoring server 110 can judge feeding activity of the livestock. In addition, when the neck movement of the livestock is sensed from the sensor device 150 in the negative zone 213, the monitoring server 110 can determine the negative feeding activity of the livestock. Furthermore, the monitoring server 110 may calculate the feed rate and the feed rate of the livestock using the time spent in the feed zone 211 and the negative zone 213, respectively, for the determined feed activity.

3 is a schematic configuration diagram of the monitoring server 110 of FIG.

The monitoring server 110 may be implemented as a computer terminal including a processor, a memory (RAM), and a recording medium (disk) as a monitoring apparatus of the present invention. The monitoring server 110 loads the application stored in the recording medium into the memory and executes it through the processor. The monitoring server 110 includes a livestock data sensing unit 311, a behavior analysis unit 312, a storage location mapping unit 313, an activity determination unit 314, a consumption production calculation unit 315, and a monitoring unit 316).

The livestock data sensing unit 311 receives the neck motion data sensed by the sensor device 150 of each barn 210 and the animal data of the position data through the transceiver 130. Here, the received livestock data includes device (livestock) ID, neck movement (tilt, impact, acceleration, etc.) data, body temperature, and position data.

 The behavior analysis unit 312 analyzes the behavior using the slope of the received tree motion data as a feeding behavior and a resting behavior. For reference, the livestock will go down the throat when eating, the throat will go up to the level when chewing, and the tilt of the neck will remain above the level when resting (when not eating). The behavior analysis unit 312 analyzes the repetition of the up-and-down slope and analyzes the rest of the behavior as a resting behavior.

The housing location mapping unit 313 inquires about the location information of the housing 210 mapped using the location data extracted from the received livestock data as a key. Once the location information of the barn 210 is queried, it is determined whether the barn is in the feed zone 211 and the negative zone 213 within the barn 210.

The activity judging unit 314 judges that the feeding position information of the animal on which the feeding behavior is analyzed is the feeding zone 211 of the barn 210 and the feeding zone 211 of the barn 210 ), It is judged that the negative water level is activity, and the rest of the activity is judged as the rest activity.

Here, the activity determination unit 314 can determine the rest activity and the rest time of the livestock in the feed zone 211 and the negative zone 213. When the determined rest activity and rest time are compiled and compared according to the barn 210, in the case of the barn 210 having a relatively large rest activity and rest time, the livestock waits for feeding of the feed and the negative water more than necessary Can be judged. The determined waiting information may be provided to the manager terminal 370 from the monitoring unit 316 at the request of the manager.

Based on the determined feed-in activity, the consumption-production calculation unit 315 calculates consumption activity including the rest activity consumed by the livestock and the movement amount based on the position data, receives the production amount of the livestock, Activity is estimated. The consumption / production calculation unit 315 generates consumption / production information including at least one of the consumption amount and the production amount. Depending on the type of livestock, there may be a variety of production, and in the absence of production, it is replaced by the amount of movement. Assuming that the livestock is a cow, the amount of milk cow is equal to the output of the livestock. When there is a milking field in the housing 210, milking amount per cow can be collected through the terminal installed in the milking field.

The monitoring unit 316 stores information on feed-feeding activities, negative feed-feeding activities, and resting activities determined based on the behavior of livestock, and provides information on the health and disease of the corresponding livestock based on the stored activity information .

Preferably, the monitoring unit 316 analyzes the behavior information of the animal, information common to the activity information (e.g., average information) in a pattern. According to the analysis process, unique pattern information is generated according to each criterion by location, period (day, week, month), housing, pedigree, activity basis, etc. within the range of the upper and lower limits of the pattern .

Here, after generating the pattern range according to each criterion, the monitoring unit 316 classifies the livestock information in which the position data and the activity information that are out of the generated activity pattern range for a predetermined period of time are classified as livestock information requiring health care And outputs it.

The manager can access the monitoring server 110 using the administrator terminal 370 and inquire about the livestock information of the healthcare object outputted from the monitoring unit 316 and perform the individual health check on the livestock. Of course, the administrator can set various pattern reference and pattern range information based on the pattern reference, compare the set pattern information and the livestock information, and retrieve the livestock information corresponding to the filtering criteria of the pattern range.

In addition, the monitoring unit 316 provides livestock information that deviates from each pattern range corresponding to behavior information, activity information, and intra-housing location information for each pedigree of livestock as livestock information requiring health care.

Further, the monitoring unit 316 refers to the consumption amount and the production amount calculated by the consumption production calculation unit 315 for disease management. That is, the monitoring unit 316 classifies the livestock information that is out of the range of the pattern information into the livestock information of the health care target, and when the livestock of the health care target is out of the pattern range of the consumption amount and the production amount, Classify. For an early diagnosis of disease outbreaks beyond the health status of a livestock, consumption and production are referred to as the final indication of a health condition manifested by livestock. Indeed, in livestock for which disease outbreaks have been identified, there is a pattern of consumption deviations from the pattern range or a decrease in production since similar patterns are observed for livestock under health care. Therefore, the monitoring unit 316 can determine whether the consumption amount of the livestock information classified as the health care target is less than or greater than the pattern range of the consumption amount, or the livestock information in which the production amount, which is less than the pattern range of the production amount, Provide the inspection as the required livestock information. The livestock of the health care target can be skipped by the manager, but the livestock of the disease control is required that the manager immediately check and confirm the livestock.

Furthermore, the monitoring unit 316 can determine the livestock for which health care is required at the moving speed of the livestock. When the consumption production calculation unit 315 calculates the movement amount, the moving speed of the livestock is calculated using the distance and the time of the movement amount. The monitoring unit 316 compares the moving speed calculated in real time with the moving speed pattern of the object, and provides the information on the livestock for which the health management is determined when the traveling speed that exceeds the reference value is detected. There are many reasons for the decrease in the moving speed of livestock, and as the disease progresses from the state of health control to the disease test, the moving speed gradually decreases. For example, hoof disease is a very common infectious disease, one of the three major diseases of bovine. It is a disease that swollen and decaying with increasing keratin in hoof. The monitoring unit 316 early blocks the occurrence of disease by providing the corresponding livestock information monitored for the decrease in the moving speed to the subject of health care.

In addition, the monitoring unit 316 can determine the estrous state of the livestock. When the maintenance of the range of the feeding activity pattern or the feeding activity is detected in the livestock having the rapid increase in the amount of movement by the consumption production and production administration unit 315, the information of the livestock determined as the increase of the moving amount is provided. In the case of a livestock in which the amount of production (for example, the amount of milking) is detected, the monitoring unit 316 can reduce the milking amount in the case of maintaining the range of the feeding activity pattern in the livestock, Of the livestock in which the estrous state has been determined. In other words, compared with the pattern of feeding activity, there is no abnormality and it is not classified as a health care subject, but the animal which shows a rapid increase in the amount of movement or a decrease in production is judged to be in an estrous state.

4 is a schematic flow diagram of a method according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

The enclosure 210 is constructed of a wireless environment sensing network and is connected to the wireless data communication of the monitoring server 110, the transceiver 130, and the sensor device 150. The sensor device 150 senses the neck movement of the livestock and measures the position data and transmits the livestock data to the monitoring server 110 through the transceiver 130.

The monitoring server 110 receives the livestock data sensed by the livestock sensor device 150 for each housing through the transceiver 130 (S411).

When livestock data is collected for each cattle stall and livestock, the monitoring server 110 analyzes livestock feeding behavior and resting behavior using the livestock movement data of the livestock data (S412). In the case of feeding behavior, the data pattern in which the slope of the livestock neck changes vertically is repeated. The monitoring server 110 searches the location information of the corresponding housing 210 with the location data of the livestock and performs a mapping process (S413). The monitoring server 110 judges that the position information of the mapped housing 210 is the feed zone 211 and the livestock for which the feed behavior is analyzed is the livestock for feeding the feed, The livestock in which the information is the negative zone (213) and the feeding behavior is analyzed is judged to be the livestock for the activity of the negative feed (S414). The rest of the activity is considered to be a rest activity. In addition, the monitoring server 110 calculates at least one of the consumption amount and the livestock production amount based on the rest activity / movement amount of the livestock and generates the information as consumption production activity information (S415).

When the analysis and determination process is completed by receiving the animal data, the monitoring server 110 stores the activity information and performs monitoring to provide corresponding health and disease information while comparing with the reference data (S416). In the process of monitoring, the monitoring server 110 generates pattern information for each livestock, cattle, and pedigree according to criteria such as livestock data, behavior information, location information, and activity information. Each generated pattern information or combined pattern information is compared with corresponding livestock information, and livestock information that is out of the pattern range is provided to the manager as livestock information of the health care object. If an anomaly is found in the livestock of the health care target that deviates from the pattern of consumption and production, the livestock information of the disease control target is provided to the manager. In addition, livestock that are not subject to health care, but whose movement volume increases or whose production is reduced, are classified as estrus livestock and provided to the manager.

FIG. 6 is a process flow diagram of the monitoring server 620 receiving environmental data in the housing 210 of FIG. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. Fig.

Referring to FIG. 5, an environmental sensor device 525 incorporating a sensor for sensing temperature, humidity and the like and having a wireless communication function is installed in the housing 210 of the first embodiment. An area of the housing 210 is divided into a grid area 521, and an environmental sensor device 525 is installed in each grid area 521.

6, the environment sensor device 525 uploads sensing data such as ambient temperature and humidity to the monitoring server 620 through the transceiver 130 in the location zone of the grid area 521. [

The monitoring server 620 according to the second embodiment of the present invention further includes a housing data sensing unit 621, a housing environment evaluating unit 622 and a monitoring unit 626 in the units 311 to 316 in FIG. .

The housing data sensing unit 621 receives environmental data including temperature and humidity from the environmental sensor device 525 installed for each grid area 521 through the transceiver 130 at step S621.

The housing environment evaluating unit 622 counts the number of livestock for which the position data of the livestock is identified in the position zone of each grid area 521, and lists the position zones in accordance with the counting order. It is also possible to count the number of matching of the position zone coinciding with the position data in which the resting activity is grasped, and to list the counting order. Then, it is judged that the livestock is denser as the counting number of the location zone increases. The housing environment evaluating unit 622 evaluates the environmental data of the higher order location zone in which the animals are densified to the optimal housing environment (S622). Here, the housing environment evaluation unit 622 can evaluate the location zone where many livestock are located for each lineage as the optimal housing environment for each lineage.

The monitoring unit 626 provides information on the location zone where the environment improvement is required and the location zone where the optimum environment is created by using the information of the location zones sorted in order (S626). The information of the location zone where livestock are included in the less dense lower order is the information of the location zone where improvement of the housing environment is required. The administrator can grasp the environmental conditions of temperature and humidity of the optimum environment according to the order of the location zones and improve the environmental conditions of the lower order location zone to the environmental conditions of the higher order location zone. The monitoring unit 626 can provide the environment pattern information of the barn 210 that the cattle likes based on the high order location zone information and the manager can provide the pattern information of the barn 210, Environment maintenance, and construction so that the feed zone 211 and the negative zone 213 are positioned in the optimal environment with reference to the reference numerals. Identifying the optimal environment and creating the stall 210 improves livestock health and disease management, thereby increasing the production of livestock.

In step S731, the dominant lineage selecting unit 731 selects a plurality of livestock having a feeding activity and a resting activity of a predetermined standard or more from the activity information in the determined activity information. The dominant lineage selecting unit 731 counts the number of livestock by lineage in consideration of the selected livestock activity information and biometric information (age, size, weight, etc.) (S732). Then, for each selected livestock, an aggregate for each lineage and biometric information is accumulated. The dominant lineage selecting unit 731 aligns the lineage information according to the counted number (S733). Then, the dominant lineage selecting unit 731 can select the dominant lineage because the feeding cost is low for the livestock lineage of which size and weight are large while the feeding activity is small. In addition, livestock, which are large in size and large in weight, can shorten rearing time and can be selected by dominant lineage. Selection criteria may vary.

When the dominant lineage is selected, the monitoring unit 736 provides the analyzed information according to the ranking of the selected dominant lineage (S736). The monitoring unit 736 may provide bloodline rankings for each barn. In addition, the monitoring unit 736 may provide environment information optimized for dominant lineage by providing housing environment information according to lineage-specific lineage rankings. The monitoring unit 736 analyzes each behavior pattern of the feed grade, the negative feed grade, and the rest according to each stall and strain and analyzes the behavior patterns of the stall and the rest based on the analyzed pattern, Environmental information and pedigree information. Then, the monitoring unit 736 can provide location information and environmental information, which are preferred by the dominant lineage in which the productivity of the feeding cost and the breeding time is increased, and the housing manager can provide the breeding information customized to the dominant lineage Can be provided.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It goes without saying that various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalence of the scope.
